{1} Eliminate the post-work
lull
Even if you have a commute ahead of you, turn on “workout
mode” before you get home by putting on your exercise outfit at work before you
even get to the gym or have to go home to change. Better yet – run home right
from the office!
{2} Make a plan
Set up a schedule, print it out, and put it somewhere other
people are likely to see like your office wall or the fridge at home. Make a
big, fat, awesome “X” each time you follow through and hold yourself
accountable by circling the days you skip.
{3} Alter your mind
Stop dreading your workout! Make it “me” time – plan a
pretty route, leave the headphones at home, and take time alone with your thoughts.
Look forward to the break from your iPhone (you’ll survive, I promise) and just
let your mind wander.
{4} Prepare
When your after-work to-do list starts building up, “Go for
a run” is often the first thing to drop off. Take time over the weekend to do
your laundry, tidy up, go grocery shopping, and prep your dinners to give yourself more free time during the week.
{5} Look the part
It may seem superficial, but a good workout wardrobe is
essential. Select pieces that compliment your body and never underestimate the
power of a pair of Lululemons, they’re totally worth the investment! Looking
forward to a good outfit is great motivation.
